    If you still want to annoy everyone around with noise, just get an electric car from Hyundai. Their pedestrian warning system is so loud that I can hear them better than gas burning cars when I have the windows open.

      Really? Wow.

      Someone noted ev would’ve been a good chance to regulate / minimize the strain on the public. But oh well…

      (just to be clear the noise part was sarcastic in the previous post)

        Unfortunately, yes. I live in a tower on a busy four lane artery. There is a traffic light just in front of the building and when the windows are open I can hear some electric cars, like Hyundai, when they are going at low speed. Here is what they sound like. I can hear others and I’m slowly beginning to recognize what brand they are just by the noise, but an electric Hyundai is loud and obvious to me.

          Yes that doesn’t sound very pleasant. Ive heard and liked the Zoe humming. Although MG for example has no sound at all and that’s also no problem really.
